I put a LOT of stuff together by myself, often without instructions because they are in Chinese, etc. or the diagrams are lousy. In this case I had my son come over to help me with it when I saw I might have difficulty putting 2 separate sections (with 3 vertical boards) together. When we started assembling the sides I thought I could probably have put it together by myself, but in this case I was glad for the extra help.
We both thought this was incredibly well made. Everything was labeled and fairly easy to figure out, but the one hour estimate for putting this cabinet together was a laugh. I put the drawers together and added the slides before my son arrived, and THAT took an hour! Prepare to spend some time putting this puppy together.
Our only complaint was that there were no written instructions, just pictures with numbers or alphabetic characters. One nice feature is that there are brakes in the back of the drawers so that they can't be pulled out all the way and come crashing to the ground. The braced back section is also a very nice touch.
I would definitely purchase this product again. Definitely value for money, but if you aren't handy, paying extra for having this put together for you may be well worth the price. This cabinet wound up being the most challenging item I/we put together.
Beautifully made, sturdy cabinet
